The mujahidin attacked the strategic Anefif region which is one of the important cities after the city of Kidal which is still controlled by the agent movement that is present in Anefif and spreads terror and fear among the ordinary Muslims and pursue them and loot their properties and displace them from the city and its vicinities and it wasn’t satisfied by that when it began to execute the ordinary Muslims without mercy or sympathy.

And Allah have prepared the mujahidin the knights of the Tawhid and Jihad to scare away this corrupt band and several of them were killed and the rest the elements of the agent movement ran away which hastened to ask for the help of France and demand support from the city of Kidal where the leaders of the agent movement are present.

Nigermartyrdom seeking operation

The operation targeted the military barricade in the city of Agadez the biggest city in north east Niger and the Uranium factory in the city of Arlit.

The operation was conducted by coordination between the Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa and the Signatories with Blood Brigade.

The operation made Niger and France suffer from considerable human and material losses when the martyrdom seeker detonated his car bomb inside the military barricade in the city of Agadez which inflicted a large number of dead and wounded to be followed after that by an attack by several martyrdom seeking brothers with their explosive belts which led to the detention of several officers of the Niger army.

While the martyrdom seeker Jaffar and the martyrdom seeker Khubayb Al-Tamashaqi detonated their car bomb inside the Uranium factory of the French company Areva which led to the destruction of the company and it stopped working.

And this operation comes as a support for our brothers in Nigeria and we attacked Niger because of its cooperation with France in the war against the Sharia.

UPDATE 1/6/13 5:17 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic statement:

Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa declare the forming the Ansar Al-Sunnah brigade which consist basically from sons of the region from the region especially Songay tribes, as well as forming four military companies:

1- Abdullah Azzam Company

2- Zarqawi Company

3- Abu Al-Laith Al-Libi Company

4- Martyrdom Seeker Company

This new organizational structure comes as result for widening the influence of the Jamaat and its control on the many regions and cities of north Mali and the increase in the number of the fighters in our ranks.

The brigades and companies of the Jamaat will be distributed in a way that align with the challenges that the region is facing internally and externally, in anticipation for any surprises that could occur for the security breach of foreign countries to the Jihadi project, especially Algeria that seek through special parties and tribal figures to secure it from the strikes of the mujahidin and in an attempt to weak the Jamaat by dividing its ranks and strike its unity by declaring the split of Salāh ad-Dīn brigade from the Jamaat, we deny that all the members of Majlis Shura of Salāh ad-Dīn brigade have agreed to this split as well as the fighting soldiers, but rather it is an individual act for the Amir of the brigade (Abu Ali Al-Ansari) and some of those close to him and it is an act that no doubt isn’t primarily in the interest of the efforts spent to unite the Jihadi factions that were set previously in a framework agreed upon by coordination, management and some military action mechanisms and joint action.

Therefore Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa understands well the intended attempts that are weaved by certain parties to drag it to change its strategy towards the apostate regimes and taking the path of the negotiations with the Malian authorities, because it is the demand of some of the peoples of the region and it was what the Amir of the Salāh ad-Dīn brigade called for before declaring his spilt.

Thus Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa pledges to launch attacks of wide geographical extension that targets the states of the apostate regimes that participate in preparing for the invasion of north Mali, after in the previous stage the throne of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad was broken and following its remnants and the activity of the Mafias of drug smuggling was weakened.
